How to Care for the Stove.

l want to tell the readers of the
Household my way of caring for the
outside of my cook-stove, thinking there
may be some that will try it and like
the way better than that of backing
the stove. l scour the top and hearth
with sand; then take a dry cloth, with
a small piece of sand-paper under it,,
and rub it briskly to give it a polish. l
rub the sides with the dry cloth and oc-
casionally put little backing around
the fire-box. AT first it may be found
to be more work to care for stove in this
way than by backing it, but after the
stove has been secured smooth it is not
only less work, but it gives it much
nicer appearance. 1t has clean and
wholesome look which stove that has
been BACKED does not have. Will some
one tell me good way to care for the
zinc under the stove?

A Domestic Episode.

You've ceased to love me, | fear,
great change has come over you;
You do not sit beside me, dear,
And hug me as you used to do
You used TO praise my eyes, my hair,
And often kissed my lip and brow
When we sat on one rockingchair-
Dear John, why don't you do so now?
" You used to call me your delight,
Said you were proud my love to win,
And kept me at the gate at night
Till ma would come and call me in.
" You called me then your ownest own,
Your popsy pet, you did, you know;
That happy time is past and gone
All, dearest, what has changed you sop
John laid his paper on his knee
And hove a sigh, and said; al fear
Whatever changes there may he
You've brought about yourself, my dear
:" This much, at least, you must confess;
Wiener my visits would pay
You did not meet me in the dress
In which you'd been at work all day.
Your hair was not in paper curls,
Your slippers Tapping on your feet;
You were the prettiest of girls,
with everything about you neat
" A snow.white collar then you'd wear,
And at your throat a pretty bow,
A flower of some kind in your hair
Now, darling, what has changed you SOP

Jersey Corner, August Goth.
AT first the editor had serious thoughts
of taking up arms in Jennie June's "
cause, but little consideration con-
WINGED him that he had better abide
under the netting of silence, or he
might perhaps invite the sharp weapon
of Miss skeeter, and let some of
the ladies of the Household raise a
smudge " on the matter which would
utterly put Miss Skeeter to fight. So
now, ladies-you who can see no reason
why woman as tall as stack-pole
should put on hat to make her yet a
foot taller, because some little sprite,
who only comes up to mans elbow,
does so, or why good, solid, sensible
woman of two hundred pounds weight
should wear a wire rat-trap under her
skirts, because some slim spinster as
fat as a match does so-just take your
paper and hunt Miss Skeeter out of the
window.

honest upright man. He may be III

he may be dependent on the help
and good will of others; hus so long
as he will tell the truth, an I Ii ,nest,
" try to fulfill his engagements. his
character counts for thousands, and
is worth to hlm more tnan silver or
gold.
A good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches; and a man who
does business year after year prud
entity, honestly, and nprightly, will
not often lack for friends and help
ers in time Of need or straits. But
the man who for some present adj
vantage condescends to cheating,
falsehood and rascality, will soon
find that for a temporary gain be
has suffered al irreparsble loss. His
character gone, society watches him
as it does thief, and long years
may e!apse before he can recover
from the effects of his own suicidal
act.
